"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

when start getting a good vibe on girls and they become interested for some reason seem to lose some when I try to get her to pronounce my name corrently
how would i make it so that she doesn't lose any attration or respect for me just for my name??? (not that I really care if she does or doesn't like my name):eek:
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Just make up a cool nick name for yourself. If you can incorporate your name, great. If not, it's fodder for good c/f conversation.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

If you watched the recent pink panther movie you could repeat it back to them totally different each time until they catch up that you're playing with them.Or as mentioned, my name is X but my friends call me <insert cool and weird nickname> if she uses the nick tell her you're not friends so she can't call you that yet (in an joking manner naturally).

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
What if the girl has a name you can't pronounce? I had that happen to me once. I know for sure that I can't spell it, but it started with an X. So, everyone just called her X. Usually I'd just be like "Hey girl!", so I could avoid it all together. She was really hott too, but had a bf and stuff, so meh.

Ya, I had a friend named Mohammed who just went by "Mo." Just shorten your name to something short and catchy.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
